Vea más +The development objective of the Shanxi Gas Utilization Project for China is to increase the gas share on energy consumption and reduce the discharge of air pollutants and greenhouse gas (GHG) through the displacement of coal in Shanxi province, and at the same time to upgrade the existing gas facilities to eliminate the existing security risks in Yangcheng County. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (i) in design of pipe network routes, consider noise impacts on residents, hospitals and schools during construction, and whenever possible, avoid them reasonably; (ii) investigate whether there are cultural relics and historic sites along pipe network routes in design; (iii) whenever possible, lay pipes along roads to reduce destruction of farmland, forest land and grassland; (iv) adopt pipe jacking and directional drilling when crossing roads to reduce impacts on residents’ life and traffic; (v) set speed limit for roads near noise sensitive areas and reduce or prohibit horn blaring; (vi) suppress dust by sprinkling during earthworks which are dry and likely to cause dust and try to shorten the time of dusting operations; (vii) when building temporary toilets, timely bury the feces; when construction is finished, the feces can be sent to villagers nearby as fertilizer, and the toilets shall be buried after lime treatment; (viii) the waste and waste welding electrode generated by the pipeline construction and welding process should be collected by waste acquisition station; (ix) enclose the temporarily piled or stored materials with straw bags filled with earth for temporary protection, and cover them with grass curtain in windy or rainy weather to prevent water and soil erosion; (x) avoid dangerous roads and driving in dangerous periods of the day to reduce the possibility of accidents; and (xi) when crossing Huoze river and its tributaries, choose the dry season and avoid the rainy and windy weather.
